IPOBs

AtaniWarrior:
Life Is Good. I recommend that we all relax, engage in constructive conversations, share information, and refrain from insulting each other.

Do you disagree with Ibibiogrl’s response about the meaning of Kakakpo, Awa, and Inokon? If so, what is the meaning of these names from your understanding?

.

Life is very good my brother especially when an illiterate and maniac girl or woman (who knows if she isn't a Granny) has been lying and talking like a Parrott knows she knows natin, absolute natin...
The fo-olish mad woman is correct to some extent but I know once that bridge is done you and your lovely people won't be needing the likes of this maniac, kids in Itu will gladly put you in the right path while d adults would simply love to be of any help
Awa is a deity in my clan people don't use the name, so interpreting names don't necessarily mean translating it to English literally.
Kindly do me a favor, if you come across that useless mad woman tell her whenever she is town from one those her useless endless 'waka waka' from one place to another.
She shud come down to the Uyo Paramount ruler palace, I need to SLA-P the taste out of her useless mouth....nonsense she-goat mentioning my name upandan!
Have a good week my good friend

Give them BIA-FRAUD n see them kill themselves like chicken....

Maabasi! this illiterate girl has really been polluting the internet with her garbage knowledge of Ibibio....yeye de truly smell

AtaniWarrior:
Akpo Akpo. Okay I can definitely see that. I’m a direct descendant of the original Ibibio/Efik of Arochukwu and I have been learning more about the various ethnic groups of present day Akwa Ibom and Cross River States over the years. I appreciate your contributions to Nairaland. I am learning a lot.

.

Mister what r you learning?
You are learning history from someone that has never in her miserable life lived or set foot on Ibibio soil
If I stand on obot ITU, Arrochukwu is very visible from there or you come down to Itu via the creek
We hope the bridge Senator Ita Enang is building will be completed ASAP which will make accessing ITU and Akwa Ibom much easily
Read, peruse and decipher chaff from wheat gather knowledge but NEVER you rely on anybody that is teaching ur history that has no real history but relying on internet to teach you ABSOLUTE RUBBISH...
All d best

Abroad people lie more than satan

I would have gone ahead to release more confidential and knowledge revealing information but na, becos of who? A nobody! Definitely not worth my materials and time
Blackking98 I salute you, Monday is tomorrow got no time for fake and scornful lots they can go 4k themselves

MEET A TRUE IBIBIO MAIDEN


Enwongo C. Cleopas
Happy December beloved friends. Please indulge me for roughly five minutes with a little story this Saturday morning.�

This dress is a result of an interesting research I embarked upon while trying to really know what the typical Ibibio maiden outfit was, especially the kind worn during marriage ceremonies.
_
I am of the Ibibio tribe and we are one of the five largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Again, I am from a village known as Ikot Ebom Itam, Nung Ekanem in Itu Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom state of Nigeria. I had always known a bit about my culture and style influences but I was not confident of the extent of who or what influenced us.

This dress was my first project point. It is commonly known in Efik as Oyoyon/Onyonyo. But in Ibibio, it is properly described as Onyo-yon. Onyo-yon is a verb word and it means ‘to crawl’ or ‘to drag’ or 'to flow'. This dress is a Victorian style dress adopted by certain tribes in the riverine area of Southern Nigeria as their ceremonial outfit. The history behind this style can be traced to the influence of the early female missionaries and colonial figures that frequented these regions during the active slave trade era, before the 19th Century.

_If you are a student of Nigerian history, you will be familiar with the locations of settlement of the European colonialists before the specific entraption known as Nigeria was formed.

_The Efik(s), a sister tribe in Cross River first adopted, projected and modified the Victorian gown into their ceremonies and sometimes, every day wear. It is very common to see their women use this, but many people are not aware that this outfit is also worn by certain groups of the Ibibio and the Oro tribe in places like Itu, Ibiono, Uruan, and Oron Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom. How did these people come about using this style as well? The reason is simple. The water bodies surrounding these locations made it easy for missionaries and colonialists to settle amongst them as was done in some parts of Cross River.

_Interestingly, this style was later weakened and watered down when the Ibibios adopted styles worn by their neighbours in today’s Eastern Nigeria as their outfits were more comfortable, weather friendly, relatable and easier to navigate. It is pertinent to say here that a typical Ibibio woman was a trader, farmer and traveller and for ease of movement, the Onyo-yon was seen as a distraction only used during ceremonies especially marriages. They had no time for theatrics or dainty-ness. Some parts totally abandoned this style.

Now, a typical Ibibio maiden outfit, pre-colonial influence, was a bare upper body and a three tiers or two tier wrapper tied around the waist with wooden accessories or nothing at all. The introduction of a small top or blouse on wrapper was a colonial and post-colonial addition. (I will be using this for my traditional ceremony)

_Back to the Onyo-yon in the picture. I decided to make findings as to the specific kind of Victorian style that was common in my region and I was led to the 1850 – 1900 day and evening Victorian dress. The gowns appear similar but certain features marked different eras. How to know this is to check the kind of material used, style of neck, pleats and the hand designs. Before the very recent usage of the lace, silk, velvet and cotton were used in making this style of dress. This is where I pause to say that if I was given this as an assignment in school, I probably would not have shown this level of excitement.

You might already be rolling your eye and saying, ‘wow, who send her’, the answer to your questions is, ‘na me send myself’.� And because I don’t want to drag this too long, I will cut it here. My findings could fill hundreds of pages but Facebook is not that place to keep it.

_So yes, the Onyo-yon is also claimed by many other tribes including some places in Rivers state. Hopefully, I will be back to share pictures of me properly adorned in every accessory that goes with this style as an Ibibio maiden. (The word maiden makes me giggle).

Gather here people let me teach you all IBIBIO history and not a tw-at that doesn't know the name of her village
An idoit living in America wants to teach us history from Washington DC....thunder destroy a thousand times
I will teach you all and this fool well researched, scientific and common sense oral true history
Ekpo Unam Ikot wants to teach me history, a vagabo-nd want to tell me who I am...

ibibiogrl:
U asked me these questions, let me answer. Despite being from Uyo I have never live there, only visit during christmas & visiting relatives etc..
I was born in Washington DC and I still live there now. I went to high school/secondary school in Nigeria to learn my culture, that was when I lived in Calabar and Abak . That's why am very passionate about teaching Ignorant retard as urself

.

Oh my! Oh my ! Jeez no wonder, no 4kin wonder, I have been wasting my time talking to a worthless nonentity... what da 4k
Shit you are a FOOL a million times over n over again for insulting the ITU OMA ward of ITU local government area
You are no IBIBIO get married and get 4ver 4kin lost.....I doubt if you ever lived in Ibibio land and if you know anything
You have never lived in IBIBIO land and u say ur family are the only one ruling ur village, do you know what makes up a village?
And you very well know that your father and his father were never initiated?
Do you know who is d obong ekpe in my village?
You are IGNORANT personified, I don't think u mom is Ibibio maybe ur father too.
If the paramount ruler of Uyo HRH Edidem Slyvanus Effiong whose house is directly opposite my flat off udoekpo ukpong street in Uyo right from his time as a Clan head is a well known Ekpe member together with my chief (uncle) they I know
You a woman and a "nothing" you are here with no history of staying in IBIBIO soil parading yourself as someone you r not and not deem to speak for people like my sisters, aunties, moms yet u r RANTING like an infinite fool
You know nothing and you will forever no nothing
Get married and get lost for good, you deserve no further comments from me
You are not Ibibio

ibibiogrl:
Run your mouth in the toilet� and eat feces� whie at it Retard

.

Yes see them here, Urua Akpan Andem and Itam market women brought up aside from running their lousy mouth
Ufopfop and 404 his what they do best....

ibibiogrl:
Well U keep arguing Ridiculously, seems even if I post my pictures here with my full name at my cousins TM marriages in Itu, U will still argue that it was not
As for Mary Slessor, I already read somewhere that she stopped the killing of twins in the South south area of Nigeria. Arochukwu was part of the Cross River area in those days, same as Itu. Despite Itu creating a memorial burial site for her, she lived in Okoyong in CRS.

Go run your mouth in the kitchen am done with your type

ibibiogrl:
Odukapni and Akampa are both Ejagham/Ekoi so what difference does it make
I don't want to waste my time arguing with a Retard My father didn't below to any cult, neither did my grand father infact a street in Uyo main town where my family lives is named after my grandfather. I have exposed myself enough, but I will say its 1of the Udosen's street. The chieftaincy in my family is hereditary. It's not just a political position.
As for Mary Slessor so U don't even know much about her but U keep using her a reference Did U read the link I posted? So her official biography is now lies

.

Read and re-read your link and tell itself if she ever set foot on IBO soil or her works went b4 her....

Whosoever you her keep it private there is no need

ibibiogrl:
Odukapni and Akampa are both Ejagham/Ekoi so what difference does it make
I don't want to waste my time arguing with a Retard My father didn't below to any cult, neither did my grand father infact a street in Uyo main town where my family lives is named after my grandfather.

.

Have a good day

ibibiogrl:
Seems U are just arguing for arguement sake so I have no time to waste with U again. U keep making Ridiculous embarassing statements
Offot that is my clan also I am from a Royal family, my grandfather was the chief & pass it down to my dads eldest brother who died in 2005 & pass it down to his eldest son who died last yr. Again U are confusing Ekpo with Ekpe. Ekpe has nothing to do with Ibibios U are right and should not be discussing what U know absolutely nothing about


Did u check the location & villages of all those brides that I posted So they just went to get married in foreign villages while performing foreign traditions All those were Ibiono, Itu and Uruan brides. Why not follow the links to their profiles and asked them why they were pretending or getting married in Ibibio traditions All through nairaland have U Read anywhere about Uruan denying about being Ibibio and claiming to be Efik
What about Oron who never stayed in Uruan but have the exact same tradition and cultures as Efik, even till today their lands is still the closest neighboring land in Akwa Ibom state to Efiklands with only water separating them. If Efik are truly Uruan people how are the almost the same as Oron with only dialectical difference

U sound like a toddler what a waste of my time again what has Mary Slessor a white scottish missonary got to do with the ethnic groups in Nigeria Just because she has museum and burial site in Cross River state and Itu means that Itu has now become Efik What about the Igbo villages(Arochukwu) that she taught? Did they also become Efik https://www.wholesomewords.org/missions/bioslessor10.html

.


Now I know you know nothing, absolute nothing just!
You don't know if Efik is spoken in ITU?
You don't know why women and the people demonizing them, their command in the society?
You have never been to ITU/ Ibiono
You confused Akampa with odukpani now you telling me Mary Slessor set foot on Arrochukwu?
You r Royalty what is that? In Ibibio chieftaincy aren't hereditary...
That as a woman in Ibibio land you want to tell me you know the cults your father belonged to or anything that has to do with initiation?
I think this has turn into gossip, take your gossip to the market or go look after your husband, you will only know what you know

I can only give private pics only

ibibiogrl:
Alright I confused Odukpani with Akampa becos they're both related to Ejagham. Like I said you are confusing Ekpo masquerade secret society with Ekpe secret cult society. What you're saying above mixing those two together is Ridiculous It's just like U saying that an Ekpo masquerade from Ikono went to control & block a Masquerade in Abia state EKPE is Completely different Cult than Ekpo, there are different types of Ekpo in Akwa Ibom state depending on the villages. EKPE is much more sacred than Ekpo, and plays an authority with traditional rulers in Cross River state and Oron. Why didn't U post links and proves, including pictures to back of your Claims of Ekpe ceremonies that was conducted in Itu and Ibiono villages

.

It is quiet easy to see you don't know what is Ekpe, even some families get to know there father belonged to this cult during burial, there is no chief in Itu/Ibiono and the offot clan in Uyo that is not a member.
If it is ceremonial pictures you want to see you will never get it you think before they come out to the public do you know what is done b4 then
Plz don't be offended there is a limit I want to discuss this Ekpe thing any other I am open but you can do well to know more about ITU/Ibiono especially riverine areas
I can give relevant pics only to emails n not for public consumption

ibibiogrl:
So whwere did U think I got these pictures from, if I don't atted traditional marriages https://www.nairaland.com/478074/post-pictures-traditional-weddings/16
Some of those marriages was done in Itu, not to talk about Ibiono example;

Uruan is the only Ibibio LGA who adopted many Cultures from Efik that wear Onyoyo, but most Uruan brides dress like other ibibios E.g.

You need to get your facts right about who the Uruan people are they never borrowed anything from the efiks.
You think calabar belongs to the efik, who then are the Quas and Efuts
?
Let me put it plain to you Efiks are Uruan they only thing that made them what they are wete the Europeans they came in contact first before any other group. Some aggrieved folks of Uruan people left present Uruan and settled at the coast lines across the river Atakpor
The Quas and Efuts dominates the mainland, there is no coastal towns in ITU, Calabar parts of rivers etc where the wives of the Europeans didn't put on the Victorian dress we now call the onyo-yon it is a dress you will see at d bottom of my aunties boxes and nothing new to us
Your knowledge of history is good but sincerely you still need very deep and detailed one as I can see you need more information

ibibiogrl:
Have you stop to think that she might have married an Efik or Oron husband Or maybe her mom is from Cross River state Tell me her name and I will confirm that to you,
Please I can show U 100s of Ibiono and Itu brides, am from Uyo and therefore have many cousins from Itam in Itu close to Uyo, so I know what am talking about personally.
Infact here is a bigtime society wedding in Uyo 2017 this bride is from Itam in Itu LGA https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10159754372965858&set=a.10151082126180858&type=3&theater

Maybe those people speak Efik as a 2nd language like most adult who grew up when AKS was still part of Cross River state, but am sure their 1st language & tradition is Ibibio.
Here are more Itu people, how are the dress like https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/1013201251/itu-nigeria/

Have you been to the main ITU? Yes or No
Do you know Mary slessor general hospital? Yes or no
If you don't know certain things is no harm but by trying to prove what you don't know you end up being insensitive to some people and their heritage
She is married to an annang man

Be honest with me, where were you born?
Where did you live your first 12 years and where are you right now?

The lady you see is a well known female lawyer in Akwa ibom( Ibibio/itu)the pics you see is the onyo-yon she wore on her traditional marriage thou this event was for something else
It is something that is not uncommon both in ITU/ibiono

ibibiogrl:
You should Not Be explaining to people online what you yourself don't know. Seems you didn't grow up in the Akwa-Cross states, so

Here are the Major differences in Cultures between Efik, Annang & Ibibio


EXAMPLE OF DIFFERENCES IN DANCE CULTURE


This is Efik dance Ekombi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rynsh2CaqAk&feature=related


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQdZUsrdGw0&t=120s

READ DETAILS HERE: https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-between-igbo

Also having lived in Abak & Calabar for a while I can tell you the differences in language.
Words could be similar like English: I cannot, Annang: Nkarake, Ibibio: Nkanna, Efik :Nkemeke.
Words can also be totaly different like English:feces, Annang:Afid, Ibibio:Uduang, Efik:IfVO.

Example of sentences- English:-1) My house is were we all are/We're all in my house. 2) This is my house
Annang:-1) Ilung Ida ke afide ajid itie. 2)Ilung ida ade ami
Ibibio: 1) Ufok mmi ke afit nyin iba. 2) Ufok mmi ado mi
Efik:-1) Ebiet Idung mmi ke kpukpru nyin idu. 2) Ebiet idung mmi edi emi.

Most Ibibios & Efiks Do Not Understand Annang except the have lived in the Annang region, so how can the be dialects of each other Also Annang has 3-4Major dialect that an Ibibio or Efik won't understand 2words. Ibibio also has several dialects like Itumbonuzo, Eket etc.. Efik doesn't have any dialect as far as i know. So again how can Annang & Ibibio including their typical dialects be dialects of Efik?

.

You really don't attend real and live traditional marriages, those pictures depicts nothing
Attend any Uruan, Itu, ibiono traditional marriages and tell me if the maidens dress (Onyo-yon) is something strange to them, some tribes in Rivers state also use it for ceremonial functions
Attend any Uruan traditional marriage and tell me the differnces with that u call Efik

ibibiogrl:
No There are none, but there are Efik 2nd speakers like Oron who are a sub-group of Efik & share cultures with Efik. Also Uruan who are Ibibios but share some history with Efik & pratice some Efik cultures.

You really need to do a well detailed research findings on this cause you are absolutely wrong and the Efik speaking people in Itu would consider this an insult
These are people that have held chairmanship, vice chairmanship and other political positions in ITU and as well are staff at the LG secretariat...
Have you been to Itu, the main Itu?
Take your time and visit Mary slessor General hospital ITU and the villages around?
How many clans do you think are in ITU?
Check the numbers of wards in IT

ibibiogrl:
I am 100% Ibibio so you now know more about me and my anscestors , parent and grandparents than me or them Please post a source and pictures of Ekpe ceremony that was done in Itu and Ibiono village U may have been confusing them with Akampa which is the neighboring LGA in Cross River State to Itu in the beginning of Akwa Ibom state.

I don't need to prove that to you it is very easy, go down to where I asked you since you are into research....
You never heard of what the Ekpo cult did to the Elderly Ekpe cult society when they were presiding over a case involving the Ekpo cult and the police at the Itam clan head palace
2001 were in Akwa ibom and tell me do Ekpe cult group come out in the open like Ekpo?
Mary Slessor was their greatest threat that is why you would have known Ekpe cult group and why the women feared and hated them. We know the head of both cult in our locality
Odukapani is next door to ITU Akampa is not close

ibibiogrl:
No wonder you don't know the difference & especially that Ibibios Do Not practice Ekpe or same tradition and culture as Efik, except U are Oron, because U grew up in Calabar. I am not learning from wikipedia, I only use wikipedia as a basic summary. I grew up in Calabar and Abak, how do U think I learn how to speak Efik and Annang fluently If you Read this thread U will understand that I have deep knowledge and also research what am talking about from the elders, infact the indigenes of Efik, Oron & Annang actually came to back me up and congratulated me on finally explaining their cultures in details READ DETAILS HERE: https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-between-igbo


Alright https://www.britannica.com/topic/Ekoi

My dear I would have love you visited where Mary slessor lived the remainder of live, you would have met people or given books( hand written)who learnt under her majority women who the community disowned
That ibibios don't practice the Ekpe cult society is a fallacy, not the ITU/IBIONO I know

ibibiogrl:
Ejagham has got nothing to do with Ibibio They are partly Cameroonians, same as Efiks. Also Ibibios Do Not Practice Ekpe (Uruan is the only 1LGA in Akwa Ibom State made up of Ibibios that practice Ekpe, because they hosted Efiks for some Centuries and adopted a lot of Efik tradition & cultures) Oronation made up of 5LGA are the only legit ethnic group in AKS who practice Ekpe, and all other tradition and cultures practice by Efik and Ejaghams etc, also they all migrated through Cameroon. There is Nothing like Efik/Ibibio language There is Efik, Ibibio, Oron languages, just like there are Italian, Spanish, French etc.. Ejagham language is semi-bantoid and has no similiarity to those other languages.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagham_language
If any Ejagham speaks Ibibio might be due to the large population of Ibibios living in CRS, that those Ejagham learn from.


I don't Have the Time to Repeat lessons and Explanation that was already given 9years ago This is not same as Igbo/Ikwerre denial war.
Despite the different dialects of same languages, there's not much differences in beliefs, tradition & cultures of Igbo and Yoruba groups as compared to Efiks, Ibibios & Annangs. This was confirmed by the Yorubas and Igbos themselves when someone actually asked these questions, instead of Ignorantly stating bogus personal opinions as Fact You can Read and argue with those posters that its not so, but the actually backup their claims with articles of history.

Sincerely the encyclopedia Britannica is one standard and acceptable reference materials, Wikipedia and nairaland are not...

what is White man?

IPOBs home, abroad they never cease to amaze one

Let it made be clear here and for the sake of future generation, after Bakasi was ceded to Cameroon President obansanjo, obong victor Attah and Governor Donald Duke had a gentleman agreement to allow the oil wells to remain in cross river
When Donald Duke left liyel Imoke on the advise of his attorney took the case to court and the supreme court gave it to Akwa Ibom
Akwa Ibom never took Cross river to court though I want d oil well returned back to cross river and this can be done

I speak with facts and calculated points and not emotionally, if I'm wrong I acknowledge it and we move on, unfortunately most cross riverians on this topic choose to argue with emotions and throw insults in the face of a superior argument.Beachside, until you stop your insults, derogatory comments and being an agent of discord, all your derogatory mentions will be be tracked down and reported, only those that are constructive arguments will be left, those who know me on this thread will tell you I don't joke with my people, I promise to make life miserable for you until you stop being an ethnic war monger and come up with constructive arguments .if you loved us as much as you claim you won't be saying those things you say, anyway we don't need your love, development,ideas or what ever you contribute, we only need God. You say Akwa ibomites are wicked, domineering and aggressive, we only do that when we have been pushed to the wall, I will show you exactly how wicked we can be if we choose to, be guided, have a good day
